Canon 350D, 18-55mm Kit Lens, EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III, 58mm Cokin CPL and a lot of determination.

If it is the lens you want and the price is right, buy it. Take pix with it and if they look good to you, you are done. GEAR LIST

I've sold four lenses, three of them Canons (including the 17-40L) and a Sigma 17-70. The Sigma is the only one I regret letting go.

Yeah. Have to agree. The Sigma 70-300 APO DG is a steal. You won't find many people telling you different. It is a very good second lens to the kit lens. If you are looking for a third lens then for the money go with the Canon 50mm f1.8. Excellent again. Search this forum and you'll see what I mean.

EagleEye Senior Member  457 posts Joined Jan 2005 Location: Monahans, TX More info | I have been getting some good photo's from the Sigma 17-70 (Thanks Grinchy). Although I have the canon 50 and 85 f1.8 (no brainer) my next lens is looking like the Sigma 70-200 F2.8 EX whatever. I would love the 120-300 f2.8 but I can't afford it. I have no complaints so far about Sigma. Simple Canon G9.

JackProton Goldmember  2,348 posts Joined Feb 2007 More info | Nov 03, 2007 17:29 | #15 The Sigma 55-200mm is a fine starter telephoto zoom. Its small, light, unobtrusive and fairly sharp. Don't worry too much about "bad copies" although, since its used, I'd recommend trying out the lens before buying if you can.
